[Idem mavult Bek. in marg.] Correspondence. Fragments of ffyperides existing in Hungary in the XVIth century. The following important passage in Gesner*s Biblioiheca seems to have been altogether overlooked by modern scholars. Kiessling at all events has not noticed it, as he most assuredly would have done, had he been aware of its existence. (See Comment. I. de Hyperide. p. 140. Halle. 1847.) It runs thus in the later editions (i. e. after 1545) : Hyperidis fragmenta qusedam orationum extant apud Paulum Borne- miza Episcopum in Hungaria. (s. v. Hyperides. Ed. Zurich. 1574 and 1583). It is most natural to suppose that these excerpts were made from the copy of Hyperides, which was preserved in the library of King Matthias Corvinus at Buda in the beginning of the 16th century. "In bibliotheca Budensi Matthise Corvini regis," says J. A. Brassicanus, " vidimus inte- grum Hyperidem cum locupletissimis scholiis, librnm multis etiam censi- bus redimendum." (Prcef. ad Salvian. 1530. Reprinted in Maderus De bibl. antediluv. p. 149.) When Buda however was taken by the Turks in 1526, those unlettered barbarians (as Brassicanus goes on to deplore) destroyed the Royal Library, and only some few relics found their way to Vienna, " in quibus," says Kiessling at p. 141 (as above), " Hyperidem frustra quscsieris.'
